Bad weather? Head to the W for rainy day drink specials

The downtown hotel is bringing back its happy hour based around the weather. Anytime it’s raining (and at a decent hour for drinking), guests of the W Austin’s Living Room Lounge will get half-priced specialty cocktails.

Stop into the W Austin’s Living Room Lounge whenever it’s raining and you’ll get happy hour pricing on cocktails.

That’s not a bad deal at all. Normally, the W Austin’s happy hour, which the hotel calls “Primetime,” runs from 7 to 9 p.m. each weeknight with half-off deals on cocktails and $5 to $9 bar bites like goat cheese artichoke dip and loaded fries. With the May showers special, guests can enjoy happy hour whenever it’s raining, period. The offer is valid through the end of this very wet month.
